OT: a Win XP "trap for amateurs"?



Last month I installed Win-XP ... for the first time. The last Win I had
experience with was v3.1, and a lot has changed since then, apparently. I put
the OS and about a dozen video card & motherboard apps. in a 2 GB partition of a
700GB drive; the rest of the drive is unpartitioned. Data is on a separate hard
drive.

Now the 2 GB Win-XP partition is bursting at the seams and I want to expand it.
But no!! Can't expand the OS partition, says Win-XP. So am I well and truly
screwed? Or is there a way to increase that 2 GB partition *WITHOUT*
re-installing Win-XP and all those apps? (^%$#! Micro$oft ... mutter-mutter!)
